Room set up is like a classic motel, with sink outside the bathroom which is convenient. Bed comfortable enough. Sheets of good quality - the heavier kind not flimsy -and very clean. Not enough pillows - only 3! - for the king bed however. Shower adequate although not strong. With fridge and microwave. Furniture is quite nice, not what you normally expect to see in a motel. Our room is in the main building on the second floor (no elevators) with an amazing mountain view. Location is convenient, walking distance to several restaurants. We got here early but the room was ready so we were able to check in which is a real plus. Room not cheap but as park lodges go it's comparable. Lighting is good in the room, lots of lamps and all bright. There are chairs to sit on the balcony and picnic tables on the grounds.

The spacious room was clean, quiet, comfortable, had good air conditioning, but the furniture was pretty beaten up. We did not have a view. The hotel was in the middle of nowhere.

The lounge has a big TV screen and some automated slot machines. There was a big bar and some tables There was a candy machine and an ATM in the lobby. A buffet breakfast was provided. Potatoes, bacon, eggs, oatmeal, pancakes, and fruit were available. We were in and out quickly, breakfast was clean & adequate.

That being said the hotel was nice in that our room was decorated and big; two queen beds, refrigerator, micro. The breakfast was tasty, the dinner we had tonight they put cloth table clothes and flowers at our tables so they tried hard to give use a good experience. On the other hand-Driving in can make you turn away because of a huge hole in the driveway. Our room was a part of an addition so we had to walk thru halls and halls to get to the elevator to go to our 3rd floor...so...!?!

I had a room upstairs and it was a roomy space, but don't expect a TV. This was actually a happy surprise for me as I wanted to be outdoors and not cooped up in a room with a TV going. It's an older hotel, so the walls are not very soundproof. For the most part that was not an issue, but the room next door was filled with small kids who did not have a TV to distract them...so running and screaming ensued.

Please note if you expand the sofa bed - there isn't much room in the living room to hang out. Pros: - the mini kitchenette: It comes with a nice large fridge*, a stovetop + oven, a sink, microwave and there's utensils/plates/cups. There's also various appliance: toaster, coffee maker, water heater and they supply you with dishwashing detergent and a rack to dry the dishes. - location: walking distance to everything in town (but the town is pretty small so most places are walking distance with the exception of the visitor center/Prince of Wales hotel) - The daily housekeeping was great and they supplied enough toiletries/towels for all of us. The mehs: - the 1 bathroom: the only bathroom in the suite is inside a bedroom...which meant everyone had to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. I think the set up is better for a family, not a group of friends. The water pressure was very good and retained the heat very well. - Free wifi but very slow. - No AC but they do provide plenty of fans. The room got pretty stuffy even with the windows open until the middle of the night - then it became a freezer box. Apparently everything in Waterton gets booked up really soon so book early if you have a preference. We booked this place in January for a July stay and there were barely any availabilities left. Parking: street or they have a small lot. This lodge is located inside Waterton National Park - so there's a daily entrance fee each car has to pay (19.60 CAN each day). Just let them know at the entrance how many days you plan to stay and pay all at once. If you are staying over 4 nights, it may be cheaper to get the annual pass. *If you are coming from the U.S. side via Kalispell, MT: I recommend picking up all your supplies there at Costco/Walmart. Groceries/food inside Waterton is really pricey and your selection is limited. We picked up everything on the U.S. side, brought a freezer bag and drove it into Waterton. We got plenty of lunch meat, breakfast supplies and water so we saved money by stashing everything in the fridge there.

Happily, we ended up having quite a good stay. Room was bigger than expected, with room to walk around. Queen sized bed was a little bit hard for my liking. There was a desk and TV in the room. No mini fridge or anything like that. The bathroom was pretty small but not too cramped. Biggest downside was no AC, only a fan. Keep the blinds closed during the day and that will help a lot. We really liked how each room had a parking stall assigned right in front of their room. Super convenient! There is an ice machine and a BBQ for everyone to use. Also liked how there are two chairs outside of each room, and a few more chairs and rocking chairs at the front of the property. Staff were nice each time we dealt with them (check in and check out as well as when we had questions). Waterton is a tiny town, so every hotel is centrally located. If value is important to you, I highly recommend the Bear Mountain Motel.

So, if you're ever in the beautiful country of the southern Rockies of Alberta, and need a place to crash: come here!

And very lucky I didn't smell anything in my room since I would have gone into 3 year old mode and had a tantrum. It smelled awesome in my room. What or who could this smell come from? Oh, I forgot. I was there! The room I had was very nice. King bed, large desk, Shaw Cable (no trying to sell me PPV as soon as I turn on the TV, and an on screen TV guide). The front desk folks are always very friendly. The pillows are tucked into themselves. It's odd, but if you pull out the end from the case it's in, it's like being a magician. VOILA! A real pillow with a normal size. And very comfortable to boot. Overall, if it wasn't surrounded by farmlands that stink up the place twice a year, I'd be ecstatic. You don't need to be a 5 star to feel like it.

What a cool experience! We had just come out of Glacier National park and into Waterton Park. I…read morerandomly asked AI what could break up our stay from Glacier to Calgary (where we were flying out). It told me about this historic (99 year old) hotel. I was like OMG yes, it's amazing. I called 4 months in advance and they were almost booked up. Thankfully we got one of the final rooms. With that said, it was maybe not the most glam or spacious room, but it definitely won with views. We were one of the (I think only 2) rooms on the sixth floor with a view of the lake and Waterton Peace park. Mind you, the elevator stops at the fourth floor and is run by an actual human operator (which stops running at 10 PM). The room was a full size bed...that will humble you and your spouse when you've been sleeping in a King for many years. LOL. However, thankfully, they have these amazing bellmen that carry your items up from the 4th to the 6th. Our bellman was Blake. He's been there for several years. He was amazing and truly seemed to love his job. He said he was more than happy to go get us ice (FROM THE FIRST FLOOR) or anything else we need. I joked with him that clearly, with this job he didn't have to hit the gym as much as the rest of his friends. Geez! Another staff interaction that was awesome was Amy from the front desk. Just a doll of a human that was so happy to accommodate us and help us learn everything we needed to know about the hotel and made sure to help us learn who to reach for certain things. A lovely human that has clearly had amazing life experience...said she had "the opportunity to come work here"...who says that about a job?! But seriously, all the people we encountered seemed to really love and be incredibly grateful for their opportunities to work here and serve the public and teach about this historic property. The last and most amazing individual was our server, Maya. We dined late in the Prince of Wales dining room. Maya was our server and gave us wonderful feedback on what was tasty and even a few stories on dishes! Like many other staffers, she's traveled extensively and had some great insights on things to see while in the area. She encouraged us to have the cheesecake for dessert and HOLY SMOKES it was stellar. Maya was warm and just made this experience an absolute delight. This hotel, the service and the food in the restaurant were all amazing. The views...absolutely killer! Now, I will list some of the things that you might need to keep in mind...if you have mobility issues, you need to book a room on floor 2-4. Also, remember they didn't design a room back then for you to have a sleep apnea machine and 14 things you need to plug in and charge. There was one plug in the main room and one plug in the bathroom. There is no air conditioning in the hotel, thus you'd better keep the curtains drawn once you've enjoyed your views during the heat of the afternoon. They thankfully have a fan in the room for those of us that "aren't from around there" and like air moving around. I'd say if you're going to be in the area, make the time to go check it out, it's definitely a once in a lifetime stay and worth the money. It has an amazing story and ALL of the staff love to tell you about it and about their experiences there. One note...if you don't like ghost stories, might not want to google some things about the hotel before you go. BOO! ;)

The bar staff were on top of all of the regular kitchen info and their own menu: All staff were well trained and very fast. The food was well-prepared, but not super exciting, appropriate for the clientele. My favorite dish was the baked potato soup, a reconstructed scallion, bacon, potato gem. I think the takeaway is that you would not ever be disappointed by a meal here. The view is beautiful, highlighting the west face of the original lodge, and a part of the bay.
